I hope you have been following the ACORN drama as it unfolds. Following three incredible videos of an ACORN sting involving a young couple, posing as a prostitute and her pimp, who wanted to buy a house as a base from which to operate a business featuring 13 year-old hookers imported from El Salvador, the couple approached ACORN for help.

ACORN workers were completely helpful, instructing the couple in how to defraud the government, avoid getting caught, hide their income and how to disguise the 13 year-old whores as something legal.

The couple went to ACORN housing offices in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and New York, and now in San Bernardino, California. You can see all the videos at Big Government. The Census Bureau reacted quickly, and severed all ties with ACORN. The organization has a long record of being prosecuted for voter fraud, but had contracted to supply census workers for the 2010 census.

Now a pattern emerges of ACORN workers very willing to help people engage in prostitution, tax fraud, housing fraud, and human trafficking of children. The first video was of a meeting in ACORN’s Baltimore office on Thursday. ACORN promptly fired the workers, and claimed that these two reporters had tried and failed to carry out their sting in other offices.

The Senate voted to block HUD from giving grants to ACORN. House Republicans have called for a total cutoff of federal funds to ACORN. ACORN, in turn, has threatened to sue Fox News, and Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe — the reporters. They were threatened with prosecution in Maryland, but it turns out that ACORN cannot operate legally in the state of Maryland.

You would think that all this drama would make page one in most newspapers, or at least get a mention. Charles Gibson said in an interview on W AM Chicago’s “Don Wade & Roma Morning Show, that he didn’t even know about it.

British papers had no trouble picking up on the story. Oddly, the American media didn’t know anything about Green Jobs Czar Van Jones either. Being a professed radical communist, 9/11 truther is apparently no big deal for a figure in the administration.

NBC Reporter Chuck Todd said that “covering the Van Jones story was a waste of time” Jones, he said was just a minor character way down the pecking order in the administration and just wasn’t important. GatewayPundit notes that “Jones was in charge of doling out $80 billion to selected green projects.” I suppose that as taxpayer dollars are measured these days, $80 billion is no longer a big deal.

Does the media simply think that these things don’t matter? Do they not matter if the perpetrators are on the “correct” political side? Do they not matter because in both cases, there are close ties with President Obama? Is our media so politicized that they do not recognize their own mindset? Do they not recognize that this is rather closely related to declining subscriptions and lost journalism jobs? It is a puzzle.
